Angling Opportunities

Lake Monticello is one of the most popular largemouth bass fisheries
in Texas. On
September 1, 1998, the slot length limit was changed from 14-21 inches to 14-24
inches in an effort to protect larger
fish and possibly increase trophy fishing opportunities. Channel catfish are
also popular at Lake Monticello. The species is abundant with high numbers
of legal-size
fish available for harvest. Anglers who fish for channel cats catch 1 to 2.5
fish per hour.
